In the market for an anatomic pathology system? Check out the 27 AP offerings from 24 vendors featured in the accompanying product guide(PDF, 805 KB).

The systems profiled in this annual product guide are commercially available in the United States. In this year’s lineup for the first time is information pertaining to whether vendors provide a list of client sites to potential customers on request.

The data presented for each product are based on vendors’ responses to a questionnaire. We encourage anyone interested in purchasing an anatomic pathology system to verify the validity of the information provided, particularly a company’s claims of having innovative product functionality installed in all of its client sites.

We also encourage readers to ask vendors whether they charge for the software modifications necessary to render their AP systems compliant with current and future government regulations, such as meaningful use requirements.

New to the anatomic pathology systems product guide is AIM Clinical Software Systems, which markets the AIMPath anatomic pathology system. Please note that McKesson is listed in the guide as a marketer of NovoPath’s AP system, also called NovoPath.
